4-H Corn-Growing Project
N. C. Prison
Head Cites
Programs
A new long-range program de
signed to rehabilitate North Caro
lina prison inmates into useful citi
zens is now under way, members
of the Wayneiville Lions Club were
told Thursday night by Col. W. K.
Bailey, state director of prisons.
In past years, the colonel said,
there were no standard rules con
cerning the operation of North
Carolina prisons and wardens and
superintendents were permitted to
set their own rules, In many cases,
this practice, coupled with a severe
lark of proper facilities, actually
made prisoners worse individuals
than when they were first commit
ted. he added
"Nowadays we try to bring a man
up instead of trying to force him
! down." Col, Bailey remarked.
The colonel explained that tl>?
present prison program stresses
vocational and educational instruc
tion with a view to fitting inmates
for a useful life after leaving pris
on. Of all persons in confinement,
1 it is believed that 98 per cent will
return sooner or later to freedom,
he said.
I
col. Hailey pointed out that
North Carolina's prisyn system now
j includes 94 institutions. employing
j 1.500 persons, and caring for 10.
i 800 inmates.
These penal Institutions are
divided into three classes, he said
ill maximum security, in which
prisoners arc kept in constant con
finement <2> medium security', in
I which the inmates are put on work
projects outside prison walls, but
arc kept under guard, (like the Haz-I
clwood prison camp', and 13> min-j
imum security, in which all inmates i
arc on the honor system.
| The colonel said that there are
! only two of the third type of insti
I tution, which accepts only prison
lers undcj- 21 years of age. Another
! feature of the institution is that
guards are referred to as "coun
selors" and must be college grad
uates.
Col. Hailey commented that two
of the major problems confronting
North Carolina prisons at present
are the difficulty of divorcing the
prison system from politics, and
the lack of adequate facilities to
care for the physically and mental
ly handicapped and inmates addict
ed to narcotics.
The prison executive said that
the state's penal institutions aiT
being improved gradually, but cau
tioned that drastic changes cannot
be made overnight:
Col. Bailey, a former lieutenant
governor of Ciyitan International,
told the Lions that he i> well aware
of the major role that civic clubs
play in the moulding of public
opinion, and urged that each man
become well informed on prisons
and support nicasuees to improve
the state's institutions.
Six Waynesv'lle merchants have,
joined together to sponsor a corn

4-H work.
In the contest ate:

savings bond to the first-place con
testant, and a $25 bond to the sec-1
ond-place contestant, according to
A. D, Harrison, president of the

Benson Not To Be Active In Campaign
Br BILL WHITLEY
BENSON. The word in Washing- |
ion is that Secretary of Agricul
ture D?nson won't be doing much i
campaigning for the Republicans I
between now and the November
elections. i
Although he is considered a lit- |
tie more popular with farmers now
than a year ago in some se.rions of '
the country, the GOP high com- (
tnand is reportedly planning to j
keep him under wraps until after
the election.
The strategy is to let President '
Eisenhower and other party leaders
lo the talking about GOP farm '
policies. ? l
ANOTHER TERM. Many observ
ers will also give odds that if Ike
is re-elected, he will keep Benson
For another four years.
A reoent move within the GOP
to dump Benson has all but died
an the vine as a result of strong
backing Ike has given him in party
circles.
Too, those in the party who were
ready to sacrifice Benson a few
months ago have quietened their
cries as a result of farm prices j
inching up a little lately.
SCHEDULE. Sen W. Kerr Scott
will be following a heavy schedule ;
of speech making in North Caro- j
lina between now and 'December. |
In addition to the 12 Congres-j
sional District rallies that will be
held by the Democratic Party in
October, Scott will make several j
appearances each week throughout
the state between now and the
election.
FIGURES. Many times it Is diffi
cult for members of Congress to
know how much reliance to put
into so-called facts and figures they
receive from government agencies.
For example:
On August 22, Sen. Scott wrote
Secretary Benson expressing deep
concern over the prices being paid ;
farmers for tobacco this year.
He asked the Secretary if bo
could shed any light on the pos
sible effect of increased imports of
cigarette leaf. (Reports had it that:
imports were incerasing with a
passible threat to U. S. 'growers.) ,
On August 30. Secretary Benson
replied, in part:
'The percentage of this foreign
grown leaf used in American cig
arettes in the past three years has
been less than 7 per cent compared
[o the 10 per cent used in the im-!
mediate pre-war period."
At the same time Secretary Ben
conducted to promote better rural
urban relationships, and to cn
rourage the growing of more bush
els of corn per acre.
son was writing his letter to Sen.' 1
Scott, the Department of Agricul- j'
ture's August issue of "Foreign Ag- i
ricultural Trade Digest" was say-''
ing in part:
"There has been a slow but ^
steady percentage Increase in us-?
ings of imported leaf in the manu
facture of cigarettes. In 1955. about (
7 per cent of the tobacco used in ,
cigarettes made in the United *
States consisted of imported leaf, (
10 years ago, the ratio was a little ,
aver 5 per cent." j t
Benson says it's decreasing. The1
'Digest" says it's increasing. May- ?
he it's botn. I

White bread prices rose 70 per
cent between 1946 and 1956.
